    Things We Never Knew About Sound Recording
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016*

A fascinating look at how sound recording has changed over the years. (I posted a review from my Kindle version, but it never showed up).Two items missing when describing the warmth of LPs:1) Are the new 180 gram LPs mastered from digitized master files or the actual master tape?2) Years ago I re-bought one of my favorite LPs, as I was wearing out my original. But it sounded muddy and terrible. Later I found out that record companies would make a new version of an album's "master tape" from the previous version, which would then become the current version. I was shocked, as I knew that copying analog to analog would degrade the sound.From a sonic perspective, CDs are great in that they induced record companies to go back to original master tapes to get the best sound. Had CDs not come out, LPs would be in a sad state. Quality of sound became an important factor in music. Sadly, too much emphasis gets placed on how music sounds, rather than the music itself.Side note: I recently bought some HDTracks super-audio downloads online, but I can't hear any greater quality. My headphones only cost $50, but I should be able to detect something more.Side note 2: While I love digitized movies (which have made old movies look better than ever), you can see where digital degrades the image by looking at "2001: a space odyssey". In the original film version, the "eye" of HAL looked perfectly murky, but in digitized versions, it looks like there are bands of color in it. It's a minor issue, but perfectly illustrates what is lost when images are digitally compressed. The same is true of audio compression. But if you're only missing 1%, how much do you want to spend to get that 1% improvement?Side note 3: I loved how the book ended by going back to an Edison recording and finding out that they didn't sound as awful as the scratchy versions we usually hear.

    Loudness War; If you lived through it... read this.
  

*by O***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020*

This is a fantastic book that opens with the Edison Phonograph and the dynamic interaction with the recording artists/engineers/listeners and continues through radio, tape decks - of all kinds including DAT but the surprising history and origin of the magnetic tape, the industry shaking impact of the CD and again with ProTools and the curious audiophile predictions of the end of sound art at each phase.  This goes into some enjoyable technical details but what is equally informative is the revealed dynamic between the everyday listener and the artist, program manager, recording and mastering engineer (the latter in particular) and the curious world of sound these people live in.Amazing work of journalistic research.  My only regret for it is that it was published in 2010 which is too soon to go into the world of Vocaloids.  I was hoping for a supreme treatment of the anti-presence phenomena of a Vocaloid concert or a Zappa redo concert.  Carrie Fisher is still performing too I guess.
